I noticed that my S2 tivo had downloaded 3 movies over the course of the day and a 4th is currently being downloaded. I called amazon and they told me that these were movies that I purchased (assuming rented) in March, 2007. I was also told that these were all promotional purchases, so they didn't actually cost me anything. I was transferred to an instant video service rep who couldn't see anything happing with my account - no recent downloads and nothing currently being downloaded so it must be a problem on Tivo's end. So I chatted with a Tivo rep who was no help and said it has to be an amazon problem.
One's first instinct may be to blame the source, Amazon, but my experience has shown that Tivo's computer system will send out messages (e-mails and messages on the tivo) months and even years past the event they relate to.

Has anyone else had this happen or know of any other cases where something like this happened? I'd like to know if it's going to stop soon or if everything I've ever rented is going to download again. I rented a lot in 2007 alone (6 pages on the amazon my orders page) so it could get ugly.

I'm also seeing random videos from Amazon showing up on TiVo. All rentals. None that we remember renting, but we haven't looked at our Amazon account that far back. Thought our Amazon account was hacked at first.

I also had about a half dozen TV shows that I purchased from Amazon suddenly and spontaneously download themselves. What's interesting is the fact it was just the TV shows I own. I also own several Movies on Amazon. I'd sure like to know how this happened.

Happened to me apparently. A S3 that I don't use that much had a bunch of TV shows and Movie Rentals downloaded to it on Thursday according to TiVo Central Online. Some of them had to be from close to 5 or 6 years ago (or whenever Amazon VOD first became available). edit: checked order history and they were from 2007

Four more movies from March, 2007 were downloaded to my S2 today. Checking against my order history, they are the 4 orders made directly after the titles that were downloaded last week. The difference, though, is that 3 are rentals and one was a purchase. Now I'm hoping that this glitch is only going to affect March, 2007 orders because I made no more orders in March.

I deleted the shows that I wrote about previously and this morning they were back again! What is going on?

I haven't deleted anything because I'm afraid of them returning. I'm going to start watching one movie to start the timer on it's auto deletion and wait a week or so to see if it comes back. If it doesn't download again I'll start the timer on the rest of them and hope.

and I've sent a PM to support as requested

Just noticed three movies. Apparently ones I'd ordered for free in 2007, but I only remember watching 2 of them. Called Amazon and the Unbox support person was in the dark on what this was. Should have thought to check here first.

Now they are starting to repeat. The first vid that was downloaded 3 weeks ago today was downloaded again this afternoon. I can't remember if I started the timer on this title so that it would vanish on its own or if I just deleted it myself.

I'm having the same thing happen on my S2 (and not on my HD, which I activated in, I believe, 2008). It's downloading the same two movies from Amazon that I rented prior to 2008. Has been happening for weeks maybe, and 3 times just in the past day.

Are the mentioned Tivo representatives real? I'm not keen on handing out my info to random people lol.

After the 7 TV shows appeared on my S3 for the third time yesterday I thought I'd finally gotten rid of them for good. I went to my Amazon account and DELETED the shows from my library! Less than 8 hours later they were back! At this rate I'm expecting Time Warner to shut down my internet for being a band-with hog! There must be a solution more immediate than a trouble ticket!

The same first four videos downloaded again on Monday and I deleted them, but left them in the RDF. Today, two of those videos were downloaded again and one of the second set of four videos is being downloaded as I type this.

I'll keep posting these updates for as long as this problem continues.
